One week at work
Completed a week at work. It was all induction training. Not much real work done. Except done a lot of interviews. We need to hire some folks and that was supposed to be completed day before yesterday. So under a little pressure already. I feel that the work here is going to stretch me and I am going to learn a lot. I loved the overview they gave us on banking business.
On the diet front, nothing happened. I must have gained back most of the weight I have lost. Okay, let me weigh myself now. No point being scared. 4 lbs gained back. I am planning to carry lunch from home starting next week. Also they sell a fruit salad in the cafeteria. I will also carry a couple of fresh fruits. Then there is the snacking option of eating rosted chickpeas and groundnuts. The dinner will be carb free. I will need to get off my butt and check out the gyms nearby. So this is going to be my plan for a while. It looks like I will be in the general shift ie nine-to-six for a while. Though travel and exra work included, it will be more like 7:30 am - 9:30 pm. It gets like this in the beginning when we are setting up the work. Once all is in process, a lot of work happens on its own with occasional glitches.
That’s about all from me. Oh I watched two great movies - The Pursuit of Happyness and Dreamgirls. I will go now and catch up with you all. Lots of love, friends.

Congratulations on the week at work and sounds like you are getting a good plan on the food. I’m glad to see you are focusing more on putting *good* foods in there, as I believe that’s what you will need for this to work in the long haul. Yea for you, girl, you are doing this and that is living your dream! Delita

Congrats on the first week of work down! I am glad you are coming up with a plan to keep your weight loss going! 4 pounds isn’t so bad. Annie is right, you’ll get that off in no time! You can do this!

Glad you’re getting your whole life back on track - the pounds will come off once you’re in a routine of work, healthy eating, maybe even gym…
Do you like the new work environment?

Hi Inya
I am so happy to be back on here and catching up with my friends. What is so amazing is the love I found once I gave myself time to sit down and log on to this site. I have missed you. I can’t wait to read what you have been up to and what has been going on in your life. I hope the holidays treated you well and the new year brings you much happiness. Lots of hugs and more comments later, Bobbie

Congrats on a great start to your new job. I think it is a great idea to take advantage of the sense of a ‘new start’ in other ways too. Sometimes it takes this kind of big step to help us get our priorities back in the right order. this sounds like a really great opportunity for you…I am so happy for you.
Happy New Year!
